A crash course edited by Charles Berlitz! The Language/30 method offers an ideal way to pick up a working vocabulary in a foreign language in the shortest possible time. Each "crash course," edited by linguist Charles Berlitz, is a quick, highly condensed introduction to the words and phrases you'll need to communicate effectively in the country you're visiting. A course includes audio along with a PDF phrasebook. Programmed for fast learning, each course gives you 1 1/2 hours of guided practice in the essentials. You'll learn easy-to-remember words and phrases covering virtually every situation: greetings and introductions, hotels, restaurants, theater, post office, railroad station, airport, shopping, driving, and many more. You'll be able to explain what you want, ask questions, and understand the answers. Years of development, testing, and actual use have proven the effectiveness of the Language/30 method. You'll now have the time to learn the essentials of the language before you go.
